ABOUT US
The Old Crocker Inn is a bed and breakfast retreat in Sonoma County wine country. Our guests are typically looking for lodging or accommodations close to the area's wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms, but not in a town or on a main road. We are on a secluded ridge overlooking the grapevines of Alexander Valley. The ranch is quiet, private and is home to deer, quail, jack rabbit, tree frogs, wild turkey and a variety of other birds. Old Crocker Inn was featured in Secret Hotels of California Wine Country in the April issue of Frommer's Budget Travel Magazine. Please explore this site for more information about the history of the Crocker Ranch, our guest rooms and cottages and Sonoma County wine country. We have information about local restaurants, wine tasting, hiking, cycling, boating, massage, golf, horseback riding, museums, redwood parks and area casinos. We are AAA 3-diamond rated and members of the Russian River Wine Road, the Historic Inns of Cloverdale, the California Association of Bed and Breakfasts and the Professional Association of Innkeepers International. You may read reviews from some of our guests on Trip Advisor.

LOCATION
Old Crocker Inn is located in the northern part of Sonoma County, between the towns of Geyserville and Cloverdale, just north of Healdsburg. We are a short drive from Hopland, Willits and Ukiah in Mendocino County. The major wine appellations in this area are Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Russian River Valley. Please note: the Sonoma Valley and the town of Sonoma are located in the Southeastern part of Sonoma County, about an hour and a half away.

SEASONS
With certain exceptions, we are generally busy during Northern California's dry season, April through October. We require a two night minimum on weekends in June through September and during sponsored wine event weekends, such as the Dry Creek Valley Barrel Tasting weekends in March, Russian River Wine Road Passport Weekend in April, Alexander Valley's Taste of the Valley in November.

GETTING HERE
US Interstate 101 will bring you north to Sonoma County from the San Francisco Bay area, or south from Northern California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. The nearest full-sized commercial airport is Oakland International (OAK), which is recommended for travelers seeking the most direct route, as it is accessible to Sonoma County entirely by freeway. Travelers arriving at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) must drive through the city of San Francisco. The best route is to take US380 West to US280 North to San Francisco, straight through the Sunset district on 19th Ave, straight through Golden Gate Park, straight on Park Presidio, straight across the Golden Gate Bridge, north on US101 to Sonoma County. Get directions and maps here. The nearest airport with a commercial carrier is Santa Rosa, with Horizon Air service daily between Seattle and Los Angeles. Santa Rosa Airport has car rental agencies on site. The nearest private airport is Cloverdale. We will happily fetch you at the airstrip if you would like to fly here in a private aircraft.
